Tlie World's Fair.
London, May ICth, 1851.
TU Loudon Illustrated News lias some very
fine half imaginary engravings of some works
v art exhibited at the fair. One thing repre
jented is a beautiful designed iron gate, which
houlJ attract the attention of our countrymen.
I Lave seen some castings in iron here w hich
aiu-pass anything of the kind, I ever expected
$p see, and this gate is one of them. It is pla
ced within the grand entrance, and forms a
gubsidiary bar; the scene beyond this gate is
magnificent, but let me pass on to describe
something I have not yet in any of my letters
described, this is the great diamond of Lahore,
tho Mountain of Light." This diamond is
now the property of the crown of England; it
once sparkled in the coronet, it is said, of the
princes of Persia. It is displayed in a machine
formed for its reception by Mr. Chubbs, the
celebrated lock manufacturer, of London. This
machine is impregnable. The diamond is let
down into its recess at night, and raised for ex
hibition in the inoming. Mr. Chubbs' diamond
case is extremely ingenious, but nobody except
the maker fully understands the mechanism. It
Lbs to defend property, valued at one million
Bterling, which might.be slipped into one's
rocket without greatly increasing its bulk.
This great diamond has an interesting history.
It was the property of Runjeet Singh during his
life. - The able Stkh leader had two estimates
(fits value. He knew its worth jn money, but
h knew also that it possessed influence which
money could not buy; for the Hindoos regarded
it as the symbol of power and success, and it is
worth "ten thousand men' to an ambitious
prince. The political importance of "the
- Mountain of Light'' induced its removal to Eng
land; but it is the greatest of the world's gems
the premier diamond that earth has yielded
jo.
Among the statuary there is a splendid work
of art by a German artist from Berlin. It is a
most noble gruup, and it is rumored that some
of our countrymen have become the purchasers.
It is called the "Amazonian Group,"- and is an
mbodyment in statuary of a familiar painting.
The Queen of the Amazons is mounted on a
splendid charger. A lion lifis sprung at the
lady on the horse, fixed liis huge claws iu the
horse's neck, and hangs suspended by them be
tween the horse's fore legs. ""The fcnazon poi
fcos her spear and is in the attitude offstriking.
Her expression is most admirable, and nobody
can doubt that the next act of the tragedy will
bury that javelin deep in the lion'sneck, for the
lady Las a muscular arm, and will bo felt when
she strikes.
To the finest conception of limbs and arms
and bust and figure, there is added such a face
of exquisite beauty in cool, determined revenge,
ns I never saw.
This is allowed to be the finest group in the
building, and if true that it is destined for
America, it will command universal admira
tion. There is a group of Milton and his two
daughters, a glorious composition, and then a
short distance from -them stands one of the no
ble if not the most noble of English Reformers,
John Hampden, Milton and Hampden, what
names! how the heart thrills as they are men
tioned. Statuary is grouped in all directions.
A lion of immense balk, said to be one of four
intended to form -a group at one of the gates of
Munich, occupies a large space, and resembles
a large mansion in size. This casting is shown
chiefly for its magnitude, and in that respect is
admirable, and probably unrivalled.
A colossal equestrian statue of Godfrey de
Bouillon, frota Brussels, follows, follows the
last-mentioned group, and is remarked at once
from its magnitude. "Achilles Wounded" forms
a splendid production. The Grecian hero, who
. believed himself to be invulnerable, is represen
ted as bending, and! turning to seize the arrow
which has penetrated into his heel, and seems
to quiver yet iu the wound. The figure in that
posture was necessarily a bjid and diflicult un
dertaking for the sculptor. The face of Acbill
s is peculiarly handsome, although he is evi
dently eUffcring considerable pain; bu the ar
tist's powers were necessarily taxed, by the
nature of the tale, to mingle pain and astonish
ment, disappointment and incredulity, in the
me features. Achilles was dipped by his
mother m Styx to nder him invulnerable,
but she grasped him by one heel in the opera
tion, and then omitted to bathe it.
But here I must stop, for tho works of art
would make up a respectable catalogue, by the
ere enumeration of their names.
An. American railroad bridge in our depart
ment attracts considerable attention. The lar
gest plate of glass that 1 ever saw, or that is in
he world, is here. It measures 18 feet 8 in
ches by 10 feet, and was cast by the Thames
riatg Glass Company. It is the prince of, mir
rors noble plate, worth a journey to sec, and
a trophy in. glass manufacture that places Eng
land in this, respect far over all competitors.
The improvements which have been made iu
ta glass manufacture here, within a few years,
astjoibh the. German visitors, who were eonfi-
dent in their own superiority'. There is a watch
with a peculiar arrangement of dial which I
would present for the benefit of all who believe,
as I do, that it is a good one. The second hand
revolves in the same centre as the hour and
minute hands, giving the dialun improved appearance.-

Grand Item and Hull Flglit.
On Saturday evening a well known grizzly
bear, which had been for several months the
terror of the neighborhood, killing horses and
cattle, was taken by a party of rancheros at
the rancho of Mr. Daguerro, just over the hills
northwest from San Jose. Several lassos were
thrown upon Jiini at once and he was taken
alive and unhurt. He was brought into town
in a sort of rude cage drawn by four oxen. He
announced his own arrival by his howls of rage,
producing a greater commotion in the little city
than any recent distinguished arrival. Six
mounted rancheros with their lassos jerked him
most adroitly from the cage into the arena of
Mr. Fico's amphitheatre, where he was fastened
to a stout stick of timber by lashing his hind
legs around it. His bellowings as he was jerked
into the arena, utterly powerless in the hands
of his captors and their resistless lassos, were
heard far and wde. He was considered to be
the largest grizzly bear ever taken alive and
unhurt, and appeared to be about four years
old, and to weigh nearly 800 lbs. All night
long his howls echoed through the town, as he
lay fastened to his stake, pining for his moon
light haunts in, his native hills. In bis own
savage fashion, he made moan for his freedom;
and his cries, pitched in a key of pain and
wrath, smote upon the ear, through the deep
silence, with a sort of inarticulate eloquence
that was troublesome.
This morning, at 11 o'clock, it was announ
ced, the fight was to come off between the bear
and two or three of the wild bulls of the plains.
Functual to the hour a crowd of people filled
the seats of the amphitheatre, including a good
ly sprinkling of members of both houses of tho
legislature.
As for tk details of the affair, neither time
nor inclination serves me to give them. The
expectations of a fierce conflict raised by the
appearance of the bear and the stories told of
the ferocity and power of the grizzly - bear of
our mountains, were certainly not satisfied.
The moment the bull a magnificent animal
hj the way, of perfect proportions, and uncom
mon vigor and courage was let into the arena,
he dashed like a thunderbolt upon the bear and
notwithstanding his resistence with his tusks
and his formidable paws, gored him terrible,
pinning him to the ground, and tossing him
about. Either the bear was worn out and ex
hausted by his confinement and constrained
posture, or he was overmatched. "What is cer
tain is, that the bull gored and trampled and
tossed him without mercy; heaving his huge
bulk, frequently to the full extent of the ropes,
by which the hind leg of the bear was attached
to the fore leg of the bull. The whole thing
was too one sided to be called a contest; and it
was a relief when the dying bear was hauled
out of the ring, into the street, where a friend
ly knife put an end to his sufferings.
On examining the carcase it was found that
the bull must have given him, in the onset, a
severe thrust under the forearm, nearly the
depth of his horn; probably disabling it.
The general impression produced, besides the
disgust, is that the grizzly bear is not nearly so
formidable a beast as had been supposed. But
it cannot be said that the bear to-day, exhaus
ted and probably paralyzed in his formidable
limbs by the confinement, furnishes any prop
er criterion.
Tlie Progress or California.
Every day gives evidence of the rapid strides
with which this city, and the state of California,
are advancing to that high and commanding
position which they are destined to occupy. It
seems but as yesterday that California was a
terra incognita; San Francisco, a harbor without
commerce, almost without inhabitants; and a
visit here from the Atlantic States or from Eu
rope, a thing to be pondered for months, and if
decided on, equivalent to a separation from,
friends for long and dreary years; while the
dangers attending the journey balanced the
checks of the friends of those who undertook it.
Previous to the occupation of the country by
the Anglo-American race, this post was only
occasionally visited by trading vessels to dis
pose of a portion of an assorted cargo from
Yankeedom, and obtained hides in return; and
at that time of so 6light Importance was it, that
it wat subsidiary even to Monterey, where ves
sels had to enter their cargoes and obtain per
mission to trade here. And to dispose of the
cargo of a moderately sized vessel, it was neces
sary to visit all the ports from San Francisco to
San Diego, remain weeks at each, and some
times one or two years on tho coast, before the
cargo could be 6old, and replaced with a cargo
of hides.
But now how changed! . Three years have
now : elapsed, and at this port the arrivals of
vessels with cargoes are counted by hundreds
monthly, aa many a3 108 vessels arrived hero
from the 1st to the 12th April. Streams where
two years ago a steam vessel had never ijefth
seen, are now navigated by fine, two, three,
four, (and frequently more,) each way daily.
On the coast between Panama and the Colum
bia river, where two years ago a steamer had
never been engaged, ocean steamers con now be
counted by dozens. The goods and passenger
traffic on the coast between San Francisco and
San Diego, now furnishes employment for two
ocean steamers, making each semimonthly
trips; and from this port to the Columbia for
two more. The mail, which, when the contract
was made to convey it across the Isthmus of
Panama, it was supposed would not exceed a
hundred pounds monthly, now amounts to up
wards of one hundred bags twice a month, weigh
ing from five to ten thousand pounds. Where
a monthly communication three years ago was
considered an extravagant undertaking for the
Government of the United States, a semi-monthly
communication now exists, and very shortly
that will be merged into a weekly one. A rail
way across the Isthmus of Panama is rapidly
progressing; a second route across the Isthmus
is being surveyed; a regular communication
will shortly be established with the old states
via the Isthmus of Tehuantepec; another is
contemplated via Nican-gua; and arrangements
have been made by which those who prefer it
can cross from Acapnlco to Vera Cruz via the
city of Mexico. A contract has been made for
a magnetic telegraph over the last mentioned
route; and will speedily be built across tlie con
tinent to this city.
But space fails us to enumerate the wonders
which have been accomplished in less than three
years by Anglo-American, enterprise in this
land of hitherto fabulous achievement. We
have mentioned sufficient with what we see
passing every day, to convince the most scepti
cal that our progress is still onward, until we
reach the proud eminence we are destined to
occupy. racijic Standard.
Another III? Lump.
A few days since Frederick Taylor, a Prus
sian t)y Titrtb, tmt an emigrant here from TStw
York, had the gool lucko meet with a lump
of pure gold weighing forty-two and a half oun
ces. It was dug from the arroyo directly be
hind our office, the same place where the 221b
lump was found more than a year ago. The
fine gold washed out by himself and partner
the same day amounted to three and a half oun
ces. Weiope their claim will continue to yield
an abundance of the precious metal, and they
will soon be as rich as they are industrious.
Senora Herald.
Indian Iiattlc.
We learn from the Transcript that the Indi
ans, about 125 miles above that city, on the
Sacramento river, stole a quantity of stock from
Messrs. Toomes & Dye, on Leonard's Ranch,
and retreated with the stock about 35 miles
from the river into the Coast Range. The6e
gentlemen collected 25 men, and pursued and
overtook them in the mountains at a large ran
cherio, consisting of about 500 Indians. They
attacked them, but the Indians were prepared
and fought desperately. The Indiansused ar
rows only, and the whites had much the advan
tage with the rifle. Although twenty-five in
number only, the whites killed forty Indians,
while none of their party were shot. The In
dians however, still maintained their position.
The men who lost the stock, after their party
had killed 40 Indians, insisted on returning.
The Transcript docs not say whether they re
covered the stock or not. It seems, if they did
not get the stock that the Indians were not
whipped.
Origin or Tammany Hall.
The New York Herald gives the following
history of Tammany Hall:
A few year prior to the rerolution there ex
isted many British clubs or societies, such as
the St. George's, St, David's, St Andrew's, &c,
not only in this city, but St. George socities
were opened in all the maritime towns and cities
of the colonies. The members of these socle
ties were all liege subjects of King George. In
1773, when disaffection to the mother country
fas Great Britain was then called) began to
spread through her North American colonies,
those opposed to the relations that existed,
found it necessary to for?a some rallying point,
in order to ascertain or combine their own
Strength.. This was the origin of the St. Tam
many Society, or Columbian Order, and its op
erations were secret, and directed against
toryism, until after tho revolution, It then
directed its power against federalism, and that
party that inherited, to a certain extent, the
men and principles of the '70 toriea.
It has more of the power and characteristic
of a national institution than of a local one, and
in times of trial has wielded a terrible power
throughout the federal Union. There are mem
bers of the order from every State, and have
been from its commencement. Its sachems are
thirteen, computing with the thirteen original
States that formed the Union. Its banners are
thirteen, each having the namej and coat of
arms of these old thirteen States cmblazcned
nron it. On its book3 are enrolled some of the
most prominent dead and living statesmen of
the democratic party, such as De Witt Clinton.
Aaron Burr, Daniel D. Tompkins, Andrew Jack
son, R, M. Johnston, Martin Van Buren, Dixon
II. Lewis, and a host of the planets, stars, and
small lights of the great republican party, com
prising about 4,000 names. There are perhaps
600 now living. Of these, about 150 generally
meet at tne annual election. This year 183
voted.
.ine lammany Society own the building
Known as lammany Hall, whichls worth $100,
000. The sachems vote all tho appropriations
and collect the revenue. No man can be a
sachem or other officer without being a member
The grand sachem is elected by the sachems
from tieir own ranks. The sachems hold great
power. If they are united they can unite the
sections of the democracy, and prevent any
party from meeting in the hall, but such as
they endorse and consider the regular democ
racy. Although the general committee, elected
by the eighteen wards, appear to be the power
that regulates the democracy, yet it is not so.
"There is a power hehind the throne greater
than th throne itself," and that power is the
sachems of Old Tammany.
Death of as Old Citizen. David Bright,
the father of Hon. Jesse D. Bright, died sud

York, wheie he filled several offices of honor
and responsibility. From New York he came
to Indiana about 1820, since which time he re
sided in Madison and vicinity. He lived to see
his sons reaching the highest positions, not only
in his adopted State, but ufthe Union; and full
of years, and universally respected for his
many virtues, he descended to the grave.

The Salt Lake.
Lieut. Gunnison, of the Topographical Engi
neers, who has been employed for a long time
past in the survey of the Great Basin in which.
the a Lake is situated, speaks of the lake as
an object of great curiosity. The water is
about one-third salt, yielding that amount on
boiling. Its condensity is considerably greater
than that of the Dead Sea. One can hardly
get kls whole body below the surface. In a
sitting position the head and shoulders will
remain above water, such is the strength of the
brine, and on coming to the shore the body is
covered over with an incrustation of salt, in fine
crystals. The most surprising thing about i t
is the' fact that during the summer season the
lake throws on shore abundance of salt, while
in the winter season it throws up glauber salt
in great quantities.

Mesmerism.
All news on this subject is part of the intel
ligence of the progress of the time, and our
readers will be interested in the following:
"We learn from the London papers received
by the Africa, that there is an infirmary in the
metropolis, where diseases are treated wholly
by mesmeria processes. In the London Sun,
of the 8th ultimo, is a long account of the cele
bration of the first anniversary of the institu
tion. The Earl of, Ducee, the regular President,
being absent, the Rev. George Sandby took the
chair. The Archbishop of Dublin and tho Earl
of Stanhope were vice-presidents. Dr. Elliotsoa
read the annual report, which, after giving an
account of the establishment of the hospital,
says, that ninety-four patients have been treat
ed, tho greater part successfully. Some of
these were desperate cases, incurable by every
other means. Thus :
On the 9th, of. last April, a man applied,
with an almost total inability to open his mouth,
&xA an inability of swallowing anything but
fluids, and ho swallowed these , with, extreme
difficulty so that ho feared being starved, ne
had received public and private medical attend
ance for several weekg, and been informed that
his complaint was. palsy of the mouth and
throat; and so indeed, it was, but from cold, not
from internal disease. One local mesmerization,
by Mr. Capern, enabled him, in ten minutes, to
swallow his saliva, and, on returning home he
ate a rasher of bacon ; and, by repetition of the
treatment, he has been enabled to eat all solids
at his meals, and to return to his work.
A very remarkable case is that of a dumb
boy, fourteen years of age, who had been pal
sied from his birth, and totally unable to walk.
He had been in many hospitals, and under
many private medical gentlemen; and been re
fused admission into St. Bartholomew's Hos
pital, from the conviction of the medical officer
that his case was hopeless. He was first mes
merized on the 2d of Fedruary, and an im
provement was discernible after the mesmer
ization. "After the 6th, he could positively walk
across the room without assistance; and on
March 27th, he walked from the infirmary into
Tottenham-court-road.' ' "
"The speakers on the occasion were the
Honourable Captain Scarlett, Mr. Janson, and
Surgeon Barker of Exeter; the latter of whom
stated that twelve hundred cases had been suc
cessfully treated in that city."
Ax Act Relating: to Actions kok Pkesonal
Injuries. Heretofore actions for personal in
juries abated on the death of the persons in
jured, and the repres entatives of an individual
whose death was occasioned by unlawful vio
lence or negligence, has no remedy. The fol
lowing act, passed at the last session of the
Legislature, remedied this defect. It is impor
tant to Railway Companies and others, who
have the lives of citizens in their keeping.
Section 1. Be it enacted, ect, That no action
now pending, or hereafter brought, to recover
damages for injuries to persons by negligence
or default, shall abate by reason of the death
of the plaintiff; but the personal representative
of the deceased may be substituted as plaintiff,
and prosecute the suit to final judgment and
satisfaction.
Sec. 2. Whenever death 6hall be occasioned
by unlawful violence or negligence, and no suit
for damages be brought by the party injured
during his or her life, the widow of such de
ceased, or if there be no widow, the personal
representatives may maintain an action and
recover damages for the death thus occasioned.
Sec. 3. So much of any law as is hereby
altered or supplied, shall be, and the same is
hereby repealed.
A Magnificent Gold Story.
The New York Tribune gives the following
extract of a private letter from San Francisco.
It embodies one of the most marvellous and
magnificent gold stories that has yet reached
us :
"In the fire proof store of Gregory's Express
Office, in San Francisco, lives a gentleman
named Hastings, who i3 largely interested in
the quartz mines. In one of his claims on
Carson's Creek, ten miles above Stockton, his
partners (for there are seven of them) have
been working for tho last two or three months
with indifferent success. They leased out the
claim to some dozen Mexicans, agreeing to
divide the profits. Early in April they com
menced drilling on the opposite side of the
mountain, where there was not the least out
ward sign of gold. After boring to the depth
of seven feet they blew out at one blast $350,
000 worth of gold. This occurred on the 12th.
On the 14th one of the partners arrived by
express with the news. On the 22d two of the
partners arrived with two boxes of the quartz.
Gregory's Express Office was crowded for two
or three hours with the wealthy merchants and
brokers of the city, who flocked to see the
show. 1
" The boxes were afterwards taken to Moffatl's
Government Assay Office. On the 25th the re
sult was given, which the writer copied from
Moffatt's account, viz.: 103 lbs. of quatz rock
produced 36 one-pound bars of pure gold, val
ued at $17 75 per ounce. Each ounce of rock
yielded $3 50 of gold. Total value, $8,182 15
Cost of coining, $225.
Several merchants have tried to purchase
shares, but they have been told that $100,000
would not buy one. The lead is represented to
be 7 or 8 feet from the surface, and about 6 or
7 inches wide,

Ferjurj-.
The existence of such an offence as this, and
tho frequency of its occurrences, we should
think, would shake the faith that prevails in the
efficacy of an oath. It is true, administration
of the oath is a very business like affair, and
not at all calculated to inspire the most imagi
native with the solemnity of its obligation; the
rapid and. mechanical utterance of the satiated
official,, and the contact of a cover of a book
with your lips do not seem a very impressive
manner of binding you to speak "the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."
The administration of an oath is a gross viola
tion of conscience to that large and growing
class, who,, through, tho. exercise of their think
ing powers, entertain doubts of many matters
pertaining to religion. These individuals must
either turn hypocrites and take the oath, or,
refusing to do so, be prepared to be committed
to prison, and prcjudico the ends of justice by
the absence of their evidence. The substitution
of the affirmation for the oath is loudly called
for, both for the interest of truth-telling gener
ally, and to prevent the barbarous anomalies
the present system necessitates.
English and American Rivers
. Compared.
. In the memoranda of Dr. Breckcnbridge's'
travels in Europe, some ten years ago, tho
following anecdote occurs : ;
" A gentleman-like and well informed English
man, who was in the stage coach with me, and
who found out I was an American, after dilating
on the greatness, the beauties, the majesty, in
short, of this noblest of British rivers (the
Thames), concluded thus :
"Sir, it may seem almost incredible, but it is
nevertheless true, that this prodigious stream
is, from its mouth to its soTrrce, not much, if at
all, short of one hundred and fifty miles long!"
, I looked steadfastly in his face to see if he
jested; but the gravity of dtep conviction wan
upon it. Indeed, John Bull never jests'. After
composing myself a moment, I slowly responded,
"Perhaps, sir, you have never heard of tho
Ohio river ?"
"I think I have."
"Perhaps of the Missouri ?"
"I think so, though not sure."
"Certainly of the Mississippi ?"
"Oh yes, yes."
"Well sir, a man will descend the Ohio, in a
steamboat of the largest class, a thousand
miles."
" "Of what, sir, how many sir ?"
"A thousand miles; and there he will meet
another steamboat of the same class, which has
come in an opposite direction twelve hundred
miles down the Missouri, and then after going
fifteen hundred miles" more down the Mississippi,
he may see that- flood of waters disemoogue by
fifty channels into the sea."
I had made up my mind to be considered a
cheat; so I went calmly and emphatically
through the statement I As I progressed, my
companion seemed somewhat disposed to take
my story as a personal affront; but at its close,
he let down his visage a comtemptuous pout,
and regularly cut my acquaintance.

8 Tho Westchester Village Record say
that a young man was stung by a locust, one
day last week. He was climbiug over a fence,
and placed his hand unintentionally on a young
locust, and the sting entered his hand between
the thumb and fore-finger. Very soon the arm
became much swollen up to the shoulder, and
